Click here to read the next poem. Collection of Poems by Carol Rudy The Lover Purple shadows lengthen into night transporting me to adventures of delight. Twas then I encountered my other perfect half, someone to share a cry or laugh. We walked hand in hand through halls of gold and silver domes, straightening the other’s hair with tortoiseshell combs. I turned and lost myself within the face, features, eyes of liquid nothing could replace. He touched my shoulder, sending hottest fire filling me with acute desire. His velvet breath upon my cheek, my whole self being weak against me murmuring “My love;” we watched the twinkling stars above. Awaking, I found on the pillow next to mine that same face divine.
Firefly Dream In the blue and crimson twilight, becoming slowly, deep the night. Fairies became souls of fireflies and shed their disguise. Hovering round with gossamer wing, they gathered to crown the Queen and King. Led me to a lake of water clear, upon the shore a herd of deer. We ate the freshest fruits And drank of goblets crystal and gold toasting each other as the knights of old. All this time there were no fears; then I awakened to find my face and pillow wet with tears. © Copyright, Carol Rudy |
